Alex Wroblewski/AFP via Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Alex Wroblewski/AFP via Getty Images President Trump’s push for Texas Republicans to redraw congressional lines ahead of next year’s midterm elections has triggered a redistricting arms race.

As a millennial, the words “low-rise jeans” can be deeply triggering, but this pair from New York City–based brand Still Here has convinced me to make an exception to my high-waist only rule. They sit low on your hips, yes, but in a way that feels surprisingly natural.

You might know of the Nabataean civilization from its fabulous city hewn from sandstone in Petra, Jordan. An Indiana Jones movie was partly filmed there. The ancient Nabataeans were also formidable traders, trekking the…

Over the past 15 years, the idea of giving everyone a “basic income” has been heralded as a promising solution for economic justice and even ending poverty. The California Democratic Party adopted it into its official platform back in 2018, and Andrew Yang ran on the promise of basic income during his 2020 presidential bid. The threat of unemployment from artificial intelligence has made the idea more buzzy.But recent studies have found that giving poor people unrestricted cash did not produce lasting improvements in their mental health, stress, or, in some cases, even self-reported financial well-being — leading to renewed…
